Configuring the AWS X-Ray Daemon

You can use command line options or a configuration file to customize the X-Ray daemon's
behavior. Most options
are available using both methods, but some are only available in configuration files
and some only at the command
line.

To get started, the only option that you need to know is -n or --region, which you use
to set the region that the daemon uses to send trace data to X-Ray.

~/xray-daemon$ ./xray -n us-east-2

If you are running the daemon locally, that is, not on Amazon EC2, you can add the
-o option to skip
checking for instance profile credentials so the daemon will become ready more quickly.

~/xray-daemon$ ./xray -o -n us-east-2

The rest of the command line options let you configure logging, listen on a different
port, limit the amount of
memory that the daemon can use, or assume a role to send trace data to a different
account.

You can pass a configuration file to the daemon to access advanced configuration options
and do things like
limit the number of concurrent calls to X-Ray, disable log rotation, and send traffic
to a proxy.
